A year after VAII, Silence Collapse counts its third collaborative VA project, including artists such as Archypness, Smogo, and Makhi. VAIII’s diverse roster of 15 artists finds harmonic terrain in the idea of ‘the third eye’: a conceptual instrument to perceive beyond ordinary sight. 

Individually, each track engages with different rhythmic structures and cathartic landscapes. Whether bassy IDM or dubstep-tinged, they collide into a cohesive whole that aligns with the label’s sound aesthetic. The result is a nocturnal atmosphere, forming a tangible link to Lyon’s leftfield electronic identity. 

One of VAIII’s standout contributions comes from Swiss-based producer MIEL with ATME. Rooted in a study of the sonic effects on bodSCy movement, she manages to articulate the label's vision in a single composition. Unexpected bass elements alternate with distorted waves and tense breathing, maintaining a grip that lies between dance-floor disruption and contemplative movement.
